Chapter 18: Dinner

Arion arrived home at exactly 9 pm. He rushed into the house to call the peony.

"Peony, let's go," said Arion calling his wife.

"Just a moment, sir," said the peony in his room.

Peony immediately straightened her mukena because she had just finished praying.

Hearing the sound of peonies coming from her room, Arion rushed over to Peony to invite her to hurry off to the restaurant for their dinner.

"Peony, come on, we have to hurry..." said Arion who was cut off.

Arion opened the door to the peony's room. He was very amazed to see the peony wearing a mukena. Peonies look very beautiful tonight.

"Wait a minute, I'll hurry up." Said Peony who immediately put her mukena in the closet.

"You just wait in the car, mas, I'll come to you in 5 minutes, just wait for me a moment," said the peony who was still busy with his activities.

Hearing peony's request, Arion agreed. Arion headed for the car to wait for his wife's arrival.

In the car, Arion opened his chat application. So many messages sent by diona.

Message form Diona

Send my money now baby

Arion is very bored with the messages sent by Diona. He was very confused by the attitude of Diona who asked for money very often these days.

Arion didn't reply to Diona's message. In fact, he switched to opening his Instagram social media.

In the room, peony is busy choosing a nice dress for her dinner.

"What should I wear tonight? I have to look really pretty." Peony said while choosing a dress in her closet.

Peony is still busy with her make-up. Naturally, most women can not in a short time for matters of appearance.

Even though the peony said it would only take him 5 minutes to prepare, but it looks like the peony preparation will take half an hour. Peony wants to look very beautiful for her husband.

While in the car, arion doesn't realize that the peony has taken too long to dress up. Arion is busy opening his social media.

"Arion," said Peony behind the window of Arion's car.

"Aaaah!" shouted Arion.

Arion was very surprised by the sudden arrival of the peonies.

"Why sir? Is my powder too thick?" said Peony, patting her cheek and forehead.

"Gosh peony, you really startled me. Has it been 5 minutes of you dressing up?" asked arion who still looks surprised.

Arion didn't realize that the peony had been dressed for so long. In fact, he thought that if it hadn't been 5 minutes since the peony was dressed up.

Peony really doesn't like Arion's question. She felt guilty that arion had waited for her too long.

"Sorry sir, you waited for me for 30 minutes, not 5 minutes." Peony said while lowering her voice.

Hearing Peony say that Arion has been waiting for 30 minutes, Arion immediately glanced at his watch.

"Oh my dear, it's been a long time," said Arion a little surprised.

Peony just smiled grimacing at Arion who seemed annoyed at her.

After the peony entered the car, arion immediately drove the car as fast as possible to the restaurant.

Arion arrived at the restaurant, arion holding the peony tightly. Seeing his hand holding Arion's, Peony just gave a happy smile to everyone in the restaurant.

Right now, the two of them were like the happiest couple in the restaurant.

"Wow, that's a lot of dishes, sir," said Peony with a happy smile.

Peony was amazed by the preparations that arion had made.

Arion invited the peonies to sit down and have dinner together.

"I like all the dishes, dear, thank you," said Peony.

Peony immediately got up from her seat and hugged her husband. Peonies didn't care if people saw them at this time. the hug is a thank you peony to her husband.

Arion just smiled and returned Peony's hug. They both look happy now.

"Let's have dinner," said Arion who let go of Peony's embrace.

Peony put food in her mouth. He really liked these foods.

While eating, the peonies remembered that their purpose in this restaurant was to discuss something. Peony even forgot about it. In fact, Arion didn't even remind him.

Peony is confused to start a conversation about their honeymoon.

"Mas" said Peony.

Peony was a little nervous at the moment. she is clear to start this topic because of her position as a woman. According to him, the man should have started this discussion first.

Meanwhile, arion is still waiting for the next sentence that will be delivered by peony.

"Yeah, why honey?" asked arion.

Peony had no other choice to start the topic of conversation at this time.

"We're going to talk about our honeymoon, aren't we?" asked the peonies.

Arion just remembered about it. the discussion about their honeymoon was their main reason for having dinner at this restaurant.

"Yes dear, gosh. I forget. Sorry dear, said Arion.

Arion took his pc and took out some vacation magazines from his bag, then arion put them on the dining table.

Arion shows several tourist destinations throughout Indonesia to peonies. Peony was excited to see all of Arion's chosen places, indeed they were all very beautiful.

"This is so beautiful honey. Where are we going? Raja Ampat? Labuan bajo? Or which one," said the peony, who was still opening the magazine page after page.

"We're going to honeymoon in Indonesia, honey, not abroad?" asked the peony casually.

Peony is still choosing their honeymoon place, while arion just looks at the peonies who are busy with their activities.

"No dear, only in Indonesia," said Arion briefly.

Peony just nodded and smiled at Arion's answer. peonies are still focused on choosing a beautiful place that will be their vacation destination later.

Arion continued to eat while waiting for the peonies to choose a good place for them.

Peony kept asking Arion about his preferred place. However, arion just agreed without saying any comment.

Peony just smiled when she felt Arion agree with her choice. He has chosen 1 place as a vacation spot later with arion.

"I choose this dear, we are going to Labuan Bajo, are you as happy as I am?" asked the peony who started to stare at arion.

Arion, who realized that peonies were staring at him, began to focus on the peony's words.

"Yes honey, I'm happy. I haven't been to Labuan Bajo in a long time. We'll have fun there," said Arion stroking his wife's hair.

After finding a place for their honeymoon, then they continued to eat their dinner.

While eating his food, the peony sensed that the arion was a little different these days. but she didn't want to be too suspicious of arion. She was afraid that her suspicions were just slander. She is also afraid that Arion will become angry with her.

This restaurant is very convenient for their special dinner. Peony really enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant. The melodious strains of music and sparkling lights illuminate the entire room, making the peony mood very good at this time. coupled with the presence of someone he loves in front of her, makes peony feel tonight is a very perfect night for her.
